"Gloriously eccentric and wonderfully intelligent." --The Boston
Globe
"Smart, honbets and wrenching." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Astonishingly captivating . . . firece and ingenious."
--The Miami Herald "Briliant. . . .Delightful. . . Very moving,
very plausibe--and very funny." --Oliver Sacks "Mark Haddon's
portrayal of an emotionally dissociated mind is a superb
achievement. He is a wise and bleakly funny writer with rare gifts
of empathy." --Ian McEwan "I have never read anything quite like
Mark Haddon's funny and agonizingly honest book, or encountered a
narrator more vivid and memorable." --Arthur Golden "The Curious
Incident brims with imagination, empathy, and vision -- plus
it's a lot of fun to read." -- Myla Goldberg
